While daydreaming of summer vacation (and all that hiking I'd like to do) I thought it'd be nice to look up all of the national parks found in California. I didn't believe it, but there are some on the list that I've never heard of, even in the bay area!

So here I share...

Here's a link to the national parks website: http://www.nps.gov/
